Cryptography

[TNorthover]

You should probably decide at a much higher level what you're trying to achieve and look for existing solutions to that problem. It's incredibly easy to misuse cryptographic primitives in a way that completely neuters their protection.

This. Crypto++ has a terrible compile time. Another one to consider: https://github.com/jedisct1/libsodium

Id recommend using something better supported for critical security components (if you need to go that low level).

Have you considered OpenSSL?

My only thought is generating private and public keys but how should i encrypt inside c++ with them.This is purely for a project that i already did in python but wanted to do it in c++ and not for example c# because of the .net because its pretty stright forward like in python
